One of the only ways to ensure your business succeeds is by knowing your cost of doing business, or CODB. At the most basic level, this is literally just the cost it takes to run your business while making a profit. If you can’t make a profit then you can’t afford to provide your services to clients. It’s really that simple.
But when you’re just starting out trying to find the right rates to charge for your services can be tough - you don’t want to charge too much and price yourself out of the industry or land a project you can’t handle, and you don’t want to charge too little and price others out of the industry or land projects that aren’t worth your time. So you have to come up with a number that works for you - but for most freelance video producers or freelance professionals of any kind, figuring this out can feel daunting. However, even though this seems like a really complex part of running your own business, it’s actually dependent on a lot of really simple things as you'll see in the video.
Hopefully after watching this video you’ve got an idea and some tools to help calculate your CODB. If you have any questions about this video, calculating your CODB, or want to know more about freelancing or filmmaking just let me know in the comments section below!

How much should I charge for this illustration? Should I charge a small company less than a big company for art? Why does packaging illustration cost more than editorial illustration?
Answering these questions is crucial to putting together a solid illustration proposal. Overall, pricing for commercial illustrators is a complex topic and it's tied to how the work is used by the client. In this video, I'll do my best to lay out some of the broad strokes and give you a sense of how to price your illustration based off of some common end-uses.
Since this topic is so big and there are so many different areas, I strongly recommend that aspiring illustrators purchasing a copy of the Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook for Pricing and Ethical guidelines:

You love being your own boss and you also love the freedom that being a freelancer brings but you probably have the question the back of your mind - what should I be charging my clients?
I'm Spencer X Smith from https://www.spencerXsmith.com and in 60 seconds you will learn how to calculate your hourly rate as a freelancer.
If this was your only job, how much would you like to make per year? Divide that annual salary by 40 hours a week, then divide by 52 weeks a year, and multiply it by 2.5 for overhead.
For example:
You aim to make $100,000 per year / 40 hours a week / 52 weeks in a year X 2.5 = $120.19
You would then charge $120.19 per hour
WARNING: This formula assumes you will take no vacation. If you plan on taking a vacation (or two!), then simply subtract the number of vacation week(s) from 52 and use that new number.
Also, why do I have you multiply by 2.5 overhead? Here’s why, time worked - does not equal the time you can actually bill to clients. There's a lot of non-billable time that we refer to as Overhead. This includes travel, administration, billing, and business development.

There's a dumb pricing mistake people make when they price their products and services...
...and it leaves a TREMENDOUS amount of money on the table.
(The weird part? This applies to all types of products. Maybe you're selling a piece of furniture... or you'er selling multiple crafts at a craft show... or maybe you're a freelance photographer or web designer...)
What is the mistake?
Watch this video and I'll explain everything.
The best part? Once you know the mistake, it's easy to fix it.
Don't take my word on it. Watch the video. See for yourself.
This takes advantage of proven psychological pricing strategies. It works for physical products - like crafts, handmade furniture - and for freelance services - like photography, web design, consulting.

Determining the cost-per-hour for each piece of equipment that your company owns and uses on a job site is a great tool for understanding, and even eventually, recouping the actual cost of the equipment itself. Equipment cost-per-hour rates are calculated by adding together three (3) distinct pieces of information. Watch this video to learn how to calculate the cost of your equipment. Want to learn more about Job Costing Equipment - visit http://bit.ly/I4Mwad

Calculating your hourly rate isn't difficult, but it's not something they teach you how to do in design school. I'll walk you through two methods you can use to determine yours. The first is a simplified version for freelancers just getting started and the second is a more detailed calculation designed for young professionals and those who want more control over the financial health of their business (don't worry, I've done all the math for you).
*Download the spreadsheet (now included) in the Architect + Entrepreneur Startup Toolkit here: http://thirtybyforty.com/SPL
Or, the stand-alone document: http://thirtybyforty.com/hourly-rate-worksheet
You'll learn how to calculate:
*Utilization rate
*Your salary
*Office expenses
*Overhead Rate
*Profit margin
*Break Even Cost (+ Rate)
*Net Multiplier
And, you'll understand how each contributes to a sensible hourly billing rate designed to support you and your business. So, rather than choosing a billing rate randomly (like I did by asking friends) or by guessing, you'll have the confidence to speak about your financials with your clients and the ability to track your profits throughout the fiscal year.
They don't teach us these things in design school, but they're a crucial part of ensuring our architecture will be constructed in the world. Without a sustainable (profitable) business model, you can't continue to design your best work.

I often get asked, "How do I get work without any experience?" Often people decide to work for free thinking that this will get them "in" with a client.
While working for free will get you experience, its a terrible idea. Working for free is career suicide. The "client" will know you as the person who works for free. You cheapen your own work and you will be the "go to" photographer when the client doesn't have the budget for the pro.
So how do you gain experience to hopefully break into the business. In this video, I'll tell you what you need to do.

On my birthday, I decided to tell the full story of how I realistically became a full time photographer. This is extremely personal for me, but when I was getting into the industry, I know it would've helped to hear what the journey of this profession was like. So here's my sad attempt at trying to inspire somebody who wants to start a business, become an entrepreneur, or just take a leap of faith. This is what I went through, and what I'm sure many others go through to live a fulfilled life.

What is the best way to handle clients who offer you work at low rates or who play photographers off against one another? I talk you through three scenarios I have faced and discuss my personal approach. How do you deal with such scenarios?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9MqeRl-GfI - How to work out your Freelance video editor hourly rate?
Well it really does depend on a number of factors. I guess the first factor is how experienced you are. How good you are at the job you do. It also depends on the type of work you are carrying out, the type of clients you have and the size budgets they are working with.
I guess one of the best ways to work out what you really should be charging as your freelance video editor hourly rate is to look at your competitors. Ask yourself where are you positioning yourself in the market?
If you are starting out as a freelance video editor your hourly rate will be lower than say a video editor that has been working for ten or twenty years.
Work out who your competitors are, see what they are charging for their work. Then decided if you what to charge the same amount as them, under cut them, or maybe if you feel you are better then charge more.
To work out your freelance video editor hourly rate it's easier to work out daily rate first.
If your daily rate is say £150 then you just need to divide that by the amount of hours you are willing to work for that £150. If you are happy to work ten hours for £150 then your freelance video editor hourly rate would be £15.
As a freelancer it's important to know your figures, as you will be working on different types of projects and dealing with different customers who have different size budgets.
Knowing how long a certain type of job will take is also important to working out how much you will charge the client for the job.
You should always have two rates in mind. Set your top rate at the figure you'd be really happy to work for say £150. And then set a lower figure, say £100. This is the figure you would be willing drop to, to carry out the same work.
You can then decide when clients come to you with different budgets where you want to position yourself when quoting for projects.

Do you travel to meet clients? Use your home as your office? Purchase software, equipment, or pay for advertising?

In this video I answer a question put to me 'How Much Should You Charge For Your Artwork' I talk about the deeper mental concern of the matter by identifying the determining factor of Pricing Artwork as Self Worth.
Many beginners , amateurs and hobbyists or indeed graduates struggle with this question as they are desperate to establish a career as an artist and it is that desperation that leads them into an uncertain spiral of fear and doubt.
Instead of being desperate to receive income for your art you must have a definite desire to receive an income and by doing so identify that income in relation to the value that you truly feel that you provide. What do you think of yourself and your art? What would you pay for it? How experienced are you?
Experience does come into play when determining a price, there can be no doubt about that. However There is more to it than just experience you must understand the nature of the business occurring and understand that it is an exchange.
Your client will be willing to offer you a certain amount that is determined by his or her impression of you and your ability and of course their overall budget. However if they regard you as an asset they will consider your terms.
Also you need to understand what you are receiving in return. In most cases the usual 'you'll get exposure' just isn't good enough, however you will come across opportunities where you can receive a learning experience of far greater value than any price and you definitely should consider such exchanges.

Working on a retainer is my favorite way to work, and I actually think it's the best solution for both the freelancer, and the client.
I usually set up agreements to work specific times every week, but there are other ways to work on a retainer, which I discuss in the video.
